As the lead DB2 DBA for the Digital Banking Division of a large UK-based retail bank, Paul describes that ‘in a recent project, the prospect of dramatically improving scalability & availability of a DB2 z/OS hosted 24*7 internet banking application in one year was hard enough. The additional complexity of a doubling in transaction and customer numbers, whilst maintaining performance, made this an even more challenging assignment.’ Paul will be sharing his experience of working on the project, discussing design, strategy and implementation, including Data Sharing, high insert performance and dynamic workload balancing.

The presentation is aimed at Database Administrators and Systems Programmers at beginner and intermediate levels.
